The driver is built into the kernel. From various suggestions I've come to see that the documentation in /usr/src/Makefile is slightly off and I need to perform an extra step. There has obviously been a big enough change between 4.4-REL and 4.8-STABLE that something with the ATA driver, devices, or both is different. --- Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Puryear Information Technology, LLC <http://www.puryear-it.com> Providing expertise in the management, integration, and security of Windows and UNIX systems, networks, and applications.
